$150k - $190k DOE + ESOP, 401k, Benefits, PTO, & more

Requirements

5-10+ Years of estimating experience in Higher Education, DSA & Public Works projects.

About the Role

We are a Top 100 ENR General Contractor that has been in the Commercial, Transportation, and Renewable Energy industries for over 125 years. On top of being 100% employee-owned (ESOP), we offer our employees a lifetime of career progression and stability through our $2B+ annual projects.

We are seeking a Senior Estimator to join our growing team in Sacramento, CA. This office is primarily focused on Higher Education – applicants must be experienced in the ground‑up and TI estimating of colleges & universities. Applicants must also be experienced in alternative delivery methods such as design‑bid‑build, guaranteed max price and more.

The Senior Estimator often communicates with the design team and owner with next to no supervision on pre‑construction teams. Senior estimators may lead all project delivery techniques and have basic and advanced estimating skills.

Senior Estimators develop conceptual estimates, general conditions, and logistical plans with minimum senior staff approval. Senior estimators will train and guide staff estimators.

Priorities
  • Accurately estimates quantity takeoff, price for all trade work (including mechanical and electrical scopes), and abstracting (including the development and analysis of trade bids).
  • Creates conceptual estimations for upper management.
  • Justify and reconcile Sundt estimates for third‑party consultant projects.
  • Prepares budget uploads, buying plans, subcontracts, purchase orders, General Conditions, and project logistics without senior supervision.
  • Manages hard bid efforts, coordinates constructibility evaluations, and applies indirect expenses like insurance, taxes, and fees.
  • Coordinate with operations to create a feasible strategy (schedule, logistics, staffing).
  • Gives design team cost and constructibility input.
    • Prerequisites
  • Four‑year engineering degree or similar technical training/experience.
  • Business unit‑identified important market sector project experience is preferred.
  • LEED and DBIA certifications are preferred.
  • Microsoft Office Suite proficiency.
  • Proven experience leading project teams with little monitoring.
  • 5-10+ years of estimating experience.
